***
A child is killed after falling from the Humber Bridge. Despite fleeing the scene, two young brothers are found guilty and sent to prison. Upon their release they are granted one privilege only – their anonymity.
Probation officer Cate Austin is responsible for Boy B's reintegration into society. But the general public's anger is steadily growing as they question if the secret of his identity is one he actually deserves to keep.
Cate's loyalty is challenged when she begins to discover the truth of the crime. Is a child is capable of premeditated murder? Or is there a greater evil at play?
